Fox News and other American reporters report this. The speech at ‘primetime’ was announced in a big way. Sources were already whispering in the ears of CNN journalists that it could become a victory speech, “the most important one in his life.” Fans ran out. But as the evening progressed and it became clear that no more election results will be announced for the time being, everything turned out to be a lame.
According to a Fox News reporter on the spot, Biden herself is also a bit superstitious. “So until the TV networks declare him the winner, they won’t put him on stage to declare victory.”
Biden would speak in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware. The large stage for his campaign headquarters has been prepared, with dozens of supporters and attendees. It is expected that Biden will ‘show his nose’ later in the evening, deep in the Dutch night, but there will be no substantive fireworks.
Victory?
Donald Trump claimed victory the night after the election. Biden left it to his team to do that and said he wanted to wait for the votes to be counted. He may be running a lot and seems to be barely able to lose, but that is not enough for Biden.
Current president and opponent Donald Trump has already warned Biden in a distinctive way; a victory speech will not be tolerated and lawyers are eager.
Pennsylvania of Georgia
There are a number of scenarios for Biden to claim the winnings. For example, Georgia is still completely open. The difference is 0.1%, although ‘blue’ has slightly run out. Trump had already announced that he would request a recount. Friday afternoon the secretary of state Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, announced that there will be a recount anyway because the difference is too small.
All eyes are therefore on Pennsylvania. That state would be enough for Biden to be declared the winner by the American media. Nevada and Arizona would also give enough electoral votes, but when a breakthrough can be expected there is unknown. Moreover, this year, with numerous lawsuits and recounts ahead, nothing is certain until all votes have been counted and validated.
Harris
Running mate Kamala Harris would also speak tonight. She would become America’s first female and first black vice president if the Democrats did indeed take victory.
On Wednesday, Biden already indicated in a speech that he is convinced that he will win the elections.
